    Almond Dream Non-Dairy Yogurt made from Real Almonds (DISCONTINUED)

    44
    By Alisa Fleming on June 17, 2014 Discontinued Products, Product Reviews

    Hain Celestial discontinued all of their dairy-free yogurt products, including Almond Dream Non-Dairy Yogurt. However, they still make Almond Dream Ice Cream. For more yogurt options that are currently available, see our Dairy-Free Yogurt Reviews.

    I’ve taste-tested quite a few dairy-free yogurts, I’d even venture to say that I’ve trialed most, if not all, that the market has to offer. Many are good, but I can honestly say that Almond Dream Almond Non-Dairy Yogurt is quite delicious.

    Back in the “dairy days” I dutiful downed the most popular brand of yogurt in the name of calcium consumption. I didn’t love it, and in fact have shied away from non-dairy yogurts aside from reviews and the occasional recipe. But, all that changed, as I found myself at the local co-op requesting a stock-up of Vanilla Almond Dream.

    Tasting Notes for Almond Dream Non-Dairy Yogurt

    In my opinion, this dairy-free yogurt has a perfectly creamy texture, with a very fresh taste and subtle hints of almond. I also love that it is soy-free, gluten-free, and of course dairy-free (yes, it is vegan too!), and that it has 8 different strains of tummy-taming probiotics!

    Almond Dream Almond Non-Dairy Yogurt - Vegan, Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free, Soy-Free

    As for the flavors, Almond Dream Almond Non-Dairy Yogurt comes in five varieties: Plain, Vanilla, Strawberry, Mixed Berry, and Coconut. I tried the first three as single serves, and later purchased the Coconut. As you may have guessed, the Vanilla was my favorite, but the Coconut came in at a close second.

    Plain

    This variety was surprisingly excellent; it is slightly lower in sugars than the others, and has a nice, relatively neutral flavor that should work very well in recipes. It has only a touch of tang, which I think makes it more versatile than traditional yogurt.

    Vanilla

    The Vanilla simply stepped it up a notch flavor. It became my lightly-sweet, post-dinner dessert, topped with pomegranate arils, berries, or even dairy-free chocolate chips.

    Strawberry

    The Strawberry had little chunks of fresh berries within, and shared the sweetness of the Vanilla, but with a bright strawberry flavor. It was delicious as well, but I’m a vanilla girl at heart.

    Coconut

    The Coconut has the delightful sweetness of the Vanilla but with a notable coconut flavor and random little shreds of unsweetened coconut throughout – a smattering really.

    I later tried the Vanilla (still my favorite), Strawberry and also the Mixed Berry almond non-dairy yogurt in Almond Dream’s newer 24-ounce multi-serve packages! The consistency of the quarts was a touch more gelatinous than the creamy single-serves, which I found slightly unappealing, but sweet, delicious and smooth nonetheless. I’m not sure if it was a random batch issue or just different production with the multi-serve, as I later purchased a single-serve and the consistency was more creamy as I remembered.

    Mixed Berry

    The sweetest of the bunch – richly flavored and dessert-like in nature. My husband adored it, and happily polished off the entire quart in just a two days! Though higher in sugar than I like to see for everyday eats, if it gets him to consume some probiotics (which he definitely needs) then I am happy. We both enjoyed it with plump fresh blueberries…

    Almond Dream Almond Non-Dairy Yogurt - Mixed Berry, Strawberry, Vanilla (quart sizes, vegan, dairy-free, soy-free)

    There are a few other great qualities about Almond Dream Almond Non-Dairy Yogurt that I would like to note:

    • Low Fat – Though made with almonds, each serving contains just 2.5 to 3 grams of fat, and no saturated or trans fats (note that the serving size on the quarts is 1 cup vs a little over 2/3 cup in the single-serve).
    • Calcium – The yogurts are fortified with 20% (200mg) of the RDA for Calcium.
    • Non-GMO – It is made with real almonds and no genetically engineered ingredients.
    • Fiber – They are considered a good source of fiber, with 3 grams per serving.
    • Live & Active Cultures – I mentioned the probiotic benefit above, but thought I would let you know that the probiotic bacterium in Almond Dream Yogurt includes all of the following: L. Acidophilus, P. Lactis, S. Thermophilus, Bifidobacterium Lactis, L. Acidophilus, L. Casei [note that this is a bacteria; it is not associated with the milk protein casein], L. Rhamnosus, L. Delbrueckii Lactis & Bulgaricus.

    Almond Dream Almond Non-Dairy Yogurt is popping up on store shelves throughout the U.S., and you should even be able to find it at many conventional grocers as the distribution increases. If you don’t see it yet, you can ask the store to bring some in.

    Sweet, dessert-like yogurt

    Rated 4 out of 5
    February 24, 2019

    This sweet, dessert-like yogurt has a smooth, thick consistency that mimics dairy yogurt nicely, but without the strong telltale tang. Vanilla is my favorite, but the Coconut was also delightful, and the Plain offers more versatility. My husband liked the very sweet Berry flavors. We knocked it down a star as there seems to be some inconsistency in texture. Sometimes the yogurt was perfectly creamy, while other times it was too gelatinous.

      My Whole Foods stopped carrying Almond Dream Yogurt. Do you know who the manufacturer is? Thank you. Robert

      • Alisa Fleming on December 7, 2016 7:13 am

        It’s Hain Celestial. Here’s the new website for their Dream line – http://www.dreamplantbased.com/

    2. Katie on July 12, 2016 12:37 pm

      Tried this yogurt in attempt to find a good dairy-free yogurt in my new city. Couldn’t even finish the cup and I hated the taste. It was very sweet and tasted processed to me. 15g of sugar in that little container? Definitely will not make the mistake of buying this one again.

      • Alisa Fleming on July 12, 2016 3:37 pm

        Yes, I found it very sweet, too, more of a dessert than a breakfast yogurt. Thanks for sharing your feedback Katie!

    3. A Windmiller on July 27, 2015 8:40 am

      Location in south florida where I can find dairy free yogurt

      • Alisa Fleming on July 27, 2015 4:42 pm

        Check their website! I’m sure they have a store locator.

    4. Maddison on June 17, 2015 7:37 am

      I am not really that concerned with protein and sugar content, however, I have developed a highly adverse reaction to dairy and I am trying new types of my favorite foods. Besides the sweetness factor that you mentioned in your review, how close is the taste to normal yogurt?

      • Alisa Fleming on June 17, 2015 9:27 am

        I cover that in the review Maddison – I didn’t miss the comparison! Here’s just one clip from above: “This sweet, dessert-like yogurt has a smooth, thick consistency that mimics dairy yogurt nicely, but without the strong telltale tang.”

    5. Denise on May 12, 2015 9:45 am

      I have tried the vanilla and the berry flavors. The vanilla was much better in flavor and texture than the berry, which was gelatinous. I’m glad I came across your review because I worried that I had a bad batch or something. Then I read that you also found inconsistencies in the texture from cup to cup and you pointed out the very thing I didn’t care for in this product. Also, it is HIGH in sugar and very low in protein for an almond product. I’m going to give the SO another try, even though I’m trying not to overdo soy…

      Thank you for the site and the great reviews!

      • Alisa Fleming on May 12, 2015 5:53 pm

        Thanks for backing me up Denise! It’s always good to get a second opinion on my end, too!

      Thank you. Barb

        Hi Barbara, you’ll need to contact the company directly – this is a third party review. We aren’t affiliated with the company and wouldn’t know the full scope of their distribution.

    8. Jackie on August 7, 2014 10:05 am

      I LOVE the coconut yogurt. It’s so yummy! But I find that it upsets my stomach every time I eat it. Does anyone have the same problem?

    9. Kim on February 26, 2014 8:44 pm

      Their is hardly any protein in almond yogurt 1 percent! It’s ironic since almond is high in protein. I thought they originally had 6 grams of protein but now it says1. It’s like watered down high carb. No thanks they is another brand so delicious and it’s almond Greek yogurt high in protein. I am very disappointed to change I was eating 14 a week.

    10. Lisa Lopes on January 23, 2014 12:43 pm

      I love this stuff!!!! Just tried the coconut for the first time today and boy oh boy it’s yummy!!!
      I can’t wait to try them all!

      Thanks! 🙂

      • Alisa Fleming on November 4, 2013 5:11 pm

        Ghenya, they are in my local grocery store. Head to the company’s website (link in my review above) for a store locator!

    12. Pat Underwood on October 23, 2013 7:02 pm

      Can this yogurt be frozen? I need something of an ice cream consistency for my grandson who is on a very restricted diet. Thanks

      • Alisa Fleming on October 25, 2013 7:51 am

        Pat, it can be, and is tasty, though I do find most dairy-free yogurts are a little icier when frozen.

    13. Candace on April 9, 2013 6:53 pm

      Is there caffeine in this yogurt? as I was told there was caffeine in yogurt. Not sure if it is all yogurt.

      • Alisa Fleming on April 10, 2013 7:14 am

        No, I don’t believe there would ever be caffeine in yogurt unless it was coffee flavor! It all depends on the ingredients.

    14. Judy on January 30, 2013 5:58 pm

      Is it Kosher?

    15. denise on January 30, 2013 5:55 pm

      what would you say about the evaporated cane syrup being in the yogurt?? i heard many bad things about this type of sweetener..so does that sugar turn into fat in the body and shooting your blood sugar sky high??

    16. michele bruschino on January 27, 2013 6:29 pm

      How much protein in each container???? Thanks – M

      • Alisa Fleming on January 27, 2013 7:08 pm

        See their website for nutritional information. There are links to their site in my review post above.

      • Kim on February 26, 2014 8:47 pm

        There is 1 percent protein it’s basically watered down and high in carb which is so wrong since almonds are high in protein. Do your homework. There is other Almond yogurt with high protein

    17. Amber on January 15, 2013 1:22 pm

      Alisa, being that I thought the So Delicious Greek Almond Milk yogurt was nasty, should I even try this one or are they similar in taste and consistency??

      Regards,
      Amber

      • Alisa Fleming on January 15, 2013 1:38 pm

        Hi Amber, it has been a while since I’ve tried this one, but I do know that they are a bit different. The So Delicious variation is lower in sugar, so the flavor on Almond Dream is more developed and sweeter. Also, Almond Dream is more of an “ordinary” yogurt in texture. The So Delicious variety is thicker (with pea protein added) since they are going for more of a “greek” yogurt. I just prefer the lower sugar one myself as I usually add things like cereal, fruit, etc.

    18. Amy. moore on October 5, 2012 4:34 pm

      The label says non-dairy, not dairy free. I learned the hard way that dairy free products can still have milk derivatives in it. The ingredients list doesn’t show dairy, but I worry. The label says soy-free and gluten free, but not dairy free (non dairy). I wonder if is truly vegan and dairy free?

      • Alisa Fleming on October 5, 2012 4:37 pm

        Amy, this is a dairy-free product. Dairy has to be listed in the ingredients. If you are concerned about trace amounts of dairy (due to manufacturing processes) then that is a different story. You need to contact the manufacturer directly on processes if trace amounts are a concern.

        As for the term non-dairy, it can be deceving. However, it is mostly a concern with products like non-dairy creamer and non-dairy whipped topping, which may contain a small amount of casein (milk protein – it would be listed in the ingredients though). For more on this issue, see my post here – http://www.godairyfree.org/ask-alisa/ask-alisa-does-my-non-dairy-food-have-dairy-in-it

      • becky on May 31, 2015 4:26 pm

        Do you think some of the probiotics are derived from milk? A lot usually are. That is the only thing that jumped out at me.

        • Alisa Fleming on June 1, 2015 9:32 am

          Hi Becky, at our time of review, they were not, but I’d check with the manufacturer if this is a concern. The dairy-free yogurt manufacturers tend to have better access to probiotics grown on dairy-free mediums than the average consumer.
